Contours of Crystal Stream

Drenched in the glow of sunburst crimson sky verdant vale veers at foot of jade hills, on gentle slope fawn leaves rustle with sigh, wind carries to the deep stream down the rills, sketching the leaping silver water line on rocks carving the course of pristine art, lucid in murmur on pebbles, some shine bright, some drape with malachite moss their heart. Walking long on contours of crystal stream, of emerald plain’s scene I’ve not lost sight, see, from lilac sky descends golden gleam of twilight as I watch the fall of night. I wait for dawn to see me in your eye drenched in the glow of sunburst crimson sky. May 15, 2019 Contest : Nature Scene-Orphan Sonnet Syllable count : 10 each line Checked on howmanysyllables.com
